I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

'Night of the Demons 2' is the unimaginatively-titled sequel to 'Night of the Demons,' but at least when a film gives you such a big clue as to what it's going to be about, you should know what you're getting. And, unsurprisingly, here you get one night (and some demons).However, I was a little disappointed at the lack of demons. There's only really one main one and, granted she can possess people to help swell her ranks, but I was expecting hordes of the nasties. Perhaps I was thinking it would be more in line with the Italian horror classic B-movies 'Demons' and its own unimaginatively-titled sequel 'Demons 2.' Despite also having demons in it, 'Night of the Demons 2' was its own movie.You have the typical mix of obnoxious, over-s*xed teenagers, all of which attend a religious school run by nuns and priests. They hear an urban legend of a haunted house and decide to go and investigate on Halloween. Naturally, rumours are true and they end up unleashing one nasty old demon-woman among their numbers.It doesn't sound like anything too memorable, but it does have its traits which make it stand out. For a start there are a few nice touches which go against the horror genre's conventions (no spoilers here – you'll have to watch it to find out!). Plus it's surprisingly quite a slow burner. You'll either see it as a plus or a minus at how the plot progresses, but it takes quite a while before the heads (literally) start to roll.Then there's the plot itself. Normally slasher/horror films are set in one location, however this one seems to bounce its location back and forth between various sets. Again, this can be seen as a positive or a negative. Some may find it refreshing that the story defies the norm, others may find it a bit disjointed and think that it doesn't really have any direction.There's gore and bits that stand out, but what saves it from being totally forgettable amongst the infinite ranks of similar movies is one character: the nun. Far from being one of God's more passive servants, she kicks demon butt at every given opportunity and, as a result, single-handedly saves the movie from oblivion.If you like tongue-in-cheek horror with the occasional moment of story brilliance and a nun who wouldn't look out of place wielding an Uzi, then sit down and watch this. As long as you're in a forgiving mood you'll find enjoyment here.

Straight-to-video presentation is a lot more adept and slick than I thought it was going to be and it surprised me to see director Brian Trenchard-Smith attached. With this man on the project you could expect to see blood, sleaze and plenty of demonic make-up FX on show. And it didn't disappoint. It's virtually a retread of the original film, as it does connect back to it. Where it's a crazy, sexed-up mixture of laughs (mocking sensibility) and frights with an eccentric splash of special effects and non lighting. How it goes about things is like you're entering a haunted house ride. Go through the ups and downs, after a slow start it becomes frenetic just like the flashy camera shots and heavy on dark, Gothic atmosphere. After a group of friends are banned from the school Halloween party, they decide to hold their own in the old abandon house with an urban legend which saw a girl disappear and her body never found. The young cast (Cristi Harris, Amelia Kinkade, Robert Jayne, Rick Peters and Christine Taylor) do a good job with competent turns by all (Jennifer Rhodes is memorable), but what they do bring is energy. "Night of the Demons 2" is over-the-top and daft, but vividly fun."This is going to be the party of century."

It's a largely forgotten 90's horror flick, starring no one you've ever heard of or are likely to hear of again. It has the requisite boobs and gore, probably went straight to DVD, and it's the sequel to a truly awful film that no one liked. You know pretty much what to expect from this one, right? Think again. Against all odds, this is one of the most inventive and bizarre horror films I've ever seen. From breasts that turn into grasping hands, rape by lipstick and a decapitated body that stumbles blindly around, to badass nuns with party balloons filled with holy water, this movie takes you to places you never thought you'd go. The plot is more or less by the numbers, but the characterization is well done and believable, the acting is on a decent level, and the whole thing is much more entertaining than it has any right to be.Admittedly, there's a LOT of set-up to get to the good parts - the whole first half of the movie is splatter-free, apart from a couple of door-to-door evangelists who meet a sticky end. But once the movie does get going, it's full of wit, invention and, yes, frightening scenes. This is how you do low-budget horror.

Angela's(Amelia Kinkade) demonic spirit still lives within the dilapidated walls of Hull House waiting for someone to release her. Thanks to Shirl(Zoe Trilling, quite the naughty, sexy raven-headed bad girl)and her thuggish pranksters trick her Catholic school friends into going to a party at Hull House. Bibi(the strawberry-blond bombshell Cristi Harris)makes the mistake of lifting a tube of lipstick which she'll take on her person across the underground stream which forbids the demonic spirit to flee her "spiritual circle". The lipstick opened by Shirl unleashes a snake-like crawler which enters her vagina while also releasing a "spiritual smoke" with Angela now free to roam. Perry(Robert Jayne), a Catholic student whose passionate belief that demonic spirits still exist despite his feelings falling on deaf ears(..and annoying newly established priest, Father Bob(Rod McCary)), will find, through a type of ceremonial ritual, that Angela is alive and well. Melissa(Merle Kennedy), a shy, sweet-hearted wallflower, an object of scorn by those who share sleeping quarters with her, is Angela's sister, an orphan terrified by dreams of her sister in demonic form. Angela desires to use her as a sacrifice for Satan within the hellish confines of Hull House. Those who entered Hull House on Halloween will face certain peril as Angela sets her sights on gaining the souls of each individual and it'll be up to yard-stick-toting nun, Sister Gloria(Jennifer Rhodes)and Perry, carrying holy-water-powered toy shooters and bombs, with the reluctant approval of a non-believing cynical Father Bob, to stop her before the unholy sacrifice is offered to Satan.The plot, as crazy as it is, services only as a means for incredible special effects. Director Brian Trenchard-Smith(Dead-End Drive-in)lets it all hang out with heads decapitated, holy water working as acid(often melting those possessed into a goo-puddle of bubbling flesh and blood), the infamous lip stick tube releasing a computerized viper head, Angela's emerging as a demonic snake(..a fantastic creation whose fate regarding a cross baked to her chest as the sun rays shine through an image kicked away by Johnny from a boarded window, seems inspired by Hammer studios' Dracula films), faces melting and steaming, boobs reaching to grab a victim's hand whose grasp burns, and ugly demonic make-up with those possessed attaining sickening, sharp teeth. Bare breasts are paraded for horror fans craving such images, and the cast Trenchard-Smith has available are beautiful/handsome. The Catholic church is skewered as Sister Gloria is lampooned thanks to her yard-stick which is always with her, almost an appendage, that third arm she needs as a moral crusader to keep the kids under her watch from sinning and partaking in lascivious acts. Her "preparation scene" resembles Rambo getting his gear and weapons together as he awaits battle with the enemy. There are even lip-locks between women, a very nice one between a possessed Sheril and Terri..Terri, horrified at just seeing her potential boyfriend being beheaded, at first resists, only to slowly succumb to desire. And, Sheril, after the snake "enters" her, shares a kiss with Angela, who lifts her up in embrace. There are obvious homages to the first film like the lipstick's appearance, and another "dance of death" as Angela provocatively performs for the Catholic kids who were dancing away to rock music shortly after their stern disciplinarian, Sister Gloria stepped away for a moment. We even have a beheaded victim using his head as a basketball, dribbling and shooting hoops! While attaining the same cheesy, gory, zany, sleazy spirit of the original, Trenchard-Smith has a far better cast of young adults, who aren't so annoying, with far superior special effects. And, the film isn't completely confined to Hull House, which separates it from being just a clone of the original. If you can accept this insane film's tone and aren't offended by the joyous swipes at Catholicism, then there might be some fun to be had here.
